O.C. Sheriff’s deputy dies 6 years after collapsing during SWAT training exercise
An Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy who collapsed during SWAT training exercises six years ago has died, authorities said. Deputy Carlos Cammon passed away Friday night at a local rehabilitation facility from the injuries he suffered during a the training exercise in 2013, according to the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs.
He was 29 when he collapsed during the training exercise.
At the time of the incident, union officials said the collapse was due to what appeared to be “severe dehydration and cardiac issues,” but it was believed he would survive.
SWAT training, Dominguez said, requires deputies to be in top physical condition. He said Cammon overexerted himself during the training and, due to the exertion and dehydration, went into complete organ failure immediately.
He underwent multiple surgeries and was kept alive, but he never regained consciousness in the six years that followed the medical emergency, officials said.
